Curious to know what United fans thought of Luiz's body-check of Rooney given Rooney's getting away scot-free with a nasty elbow vs Wigan.  Should both have been punished or just Luiz?Also, loved Fergie and Rooney raging over it.  Didn't they see the hypocrisy?
Obviously the talk today but seriously, do you expect SAF to come out and rage at the FA about his own players?

While the elbow was an borderline assault, Luiz changed the game.

Both have one thing in common: the FA are incompetent

Edit: And technically, as someone touched on before, had this fixture been played when it should have, neither incidents would have existed/mattered
I guess there is a difference between the two incidents. Ref said he saw the Rooney elbow and dealt with it appropriately (his view). The ref missed the blatant foul on Rooney so more a complaint that the ref completely missed the incident.
 
Ref sees it, he goes off, game changes.
